Finishing up the Electronic Ignition (Continued from July 2017)

April 22, the cold weather has finally departed and it is back to the hangar to finish up the electronic ignition.  Major components had been fabricated and installed two years earlier, now to get it completed.
Below are the original plug ends and the new MSD plug wires included in the CPI (Coil Pack Ignition).  The original plug ends were about maximum size that could be installed on the bottom  plugs, the new ones were way to big to fit.  Fortunately the new wires have a small plug on the opposite end.  I was able to install the small end of the new plug wires onto the bottom plugs by trimming off a bit of the rubber nipple on the ends.  The small plug end can be seen in the photo of the coils where I am using 4 small and 4 large ended wires on the coils.  The photo below is a end view and a top view.


Below you can see the two sizes of plug wires that I have installed onto the coil packs.  The coil packs require a 10 amp fuse to each and the CPI programming controller requires a 3 amp fuse.
